Skansen

What is the Swedish Christmas Drink, Glögg, and Why Is It Trending? | Eater

"At the world’s oldest open-air museum in Stockholm, a theatrical vodka-based glögg recipe is served: dried figs and ginger are macerated in vodka with traditional spices for hours, the mixture is heated and briefly set aflame while a large sugar cube is melted into it to create a lightly golden, caramel-scented liquid, then snuffed and served immediately in small glass cups garnished with raisins, blanched almonds and a tiny spoon." - Per Styregård

"A brief description of Skansen—a 75-acre open-air museum with historic buildings and a zoo—doesn’t convey just how much fun it is. You can easily spend a happy half-day here, looking at wolves, reindeer, moose, seals, and other Nordic creatures, then popping into old buildings that have been brought here from all over Scandinavia and reassembled. In some you can talk to people in costume who are playing the roles of the original inhabitants. Elsewhere you can watch glassblowers at work and visit old-fashioned stores. Open since 1891, it remains one of Sweden ’s top tourist draws."

Swedish National Day – 6th June

"In an attempt to get the Swedes more involved and encourage National pride, it was then re-designated Swedish National Day in 1983. In a nod to the past, one of the biggest celebrations takes place at the Skansen open-air museum." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team
